So Many Books So Little Time tee for avid readers

This tee is a black cotton crew-neck shirt with the white slogan “So many books… so little time!” printed across the chest in serif type. It is made for avid readers, bookworms, librarians, teachers, and book club members who always want more reading hours than the day allows.
